I'm looking for a cheap slim keyboard to use with my laptop when it's docked.

I don't want anything too fancy (ie. no multimedia keys, no integrated touchpad, etc), my only requirement is that it has a numberpad. Wireless would also be a big plus, as I already have a 2.4ghz logitech reciever, and would like too keep a USB port free, but i've yet to see any good wireless keyboards short of the DiNovo.

The two that've really caught my eye so far are:
The Rosewill RK650: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823201015
and the Rosewill RK600: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823201014

I've never heard of these guys before (Rosewill), does anyone have any experience with them?

any other keyboards I should take a look at?

Its a well known brand but I have never personally had any products from them.

Rosewill is a Newegg "house brand"; they take products other companies manufacture, and then put their label on it. They are neither universally good nor universally bad, but their low-cost items (like those) tend to be about what you'd expect from similar cheap items.

They are likely decent by most standards (because most people are happy enough with a typical $10 keyboard), but nothing special. If you buy one and like it, you may want to buy an extra as insurance against it breaking.
